Real Wedding: Gina & Andrew

A perfect Spring day in San Francisco for a wedding at the historic Ferry Building. The bride loves Red but wanted it to look more like Spring, so we softened the look with white, blush, grey and muted greens. Modern silver textured vases for a little sparkle and drama, succulents for texture and gorgeous Cafe Au Lait dahlias to add that touch of Blush. The fab team that is Kim and Niki Photography captured the decor beautifully.

This wedding was just featured in the Wedding section of 7x7 online as well, check it out here.

 Beautiful all red bouquet for the bride....such a great picture!

Elegant arrangements of deep red dahlias, white hydrangea, Amigo blush roses, eucalyptus berries, dusty miller, Cafe Au Lait dahlias and succulents.

Exclusive: Pier 48 Spectacular Showcase

Wow, it has been awhile since our last post. We have so many things to tell you about! We have been busy designing for weddings, corporate events and fun networking events like "A Spectacular Showcase at Pier 48" hosted by AT&T Park, Classic Party Rentals and Got Light? The event at Pier 48 last Wednesday night was a great party! We had a fun time seeing our fellow designers work, meeting new people and catching up with friends.

We designed for 3 different sections of the event, French Country, Modern Color and Contemporary Rustic. Here are some shots that we took at the event to share with all of you...we are in no way photographers but we did our best.

 French Country:

Cheerful country arrangements of Icelandic Poppies, Vibernum, Ranunculas, Brazilia Berries, Ladies Mantle and Mini Roses designed in gold mercury glass vases.

A more modern take on French Country with beautiful peach French Tulips, fluffy golden Ranunculas and fresh green Vibernum designed in a footed gold mercury glass vase

Modern Color:

Clean monochromatic arrangements highlighted the tables in this sleek colorful lounge area.

Monochromatic arrangements of blue Hydrangea, yellow Callas with yellow Acacia and fire orange Mini Roses. All were connected together with strips of variegated green flax.

Sleek end table arrangements of deep purple Anenomes and deep purple Lisianthus designed in modern brushed stainless steel vases.

 Contemporary Rustic:

A sculptural centerpiece of sandblasted Grapevine with deep plum Callas, Sterling Roses, Succulents and accented with strands of lime green Bullion wire.

Clusters of gold mercury glass votives surrounded the centerpiece for a touch of warmth and sparkle.

Place settings were accented with deep plum Ranunculas and deep purple Anemones to add a soft texture and a pop of color against the white china.

We hope these inspire you.

Press: Ceremony Magazine 2013 Issue

We are so excited to be featured in the 2013 issue of Ceremony Magazine San Francisco/Bay Area! We have 2 fabulous weddings in there that are very different from each other. One is soft and classic, the other is bright and whimsical. We also have 2 beautiful table designs we did for Ceremony Magazine that are featured in the new issue, pick up a copy of the new issue when they hit stands in a week or see the digital version here.

 Emily and Scott's flight themed wedding was fun and colorful at the beautiful Julia Morgan Ballroom in San Francisco. Joyce from Events of Distinction brought us on the team to design the florals and bring her vision to life. From custom stage panels to "floating" clouds of carnations, everything was custom made. Always keeping it fun and exciting, thanks Joyce!

 Lindsay and Jake's wedding was a Secret Garden meets Royal Wedding kinda soiree. Held at Flood Mansion in San Francisco with a lush Chuppah of garden roses and trailing vines for the ceremony and elegant tall arrangements of dogwood for the long reception tables, this wedding was beautiful. For this wedding we worked with Shannon Leahy Events. Shannon's weddings always turn out tasteful and timeless, thanks Shannon! And we wouldn't be able to share it with you without the amazing photographs from First Comes Love Photo, thank you Alison.

 We had a ball at the City Scene Soiree with the team from Ceremony Magazine. Our table top design is on the right page with the hot pink and orange flowers on the silver linen and coffee table. We used mango callas, gloriosa lilies, coxcomb and other interesting flowers for this "Modern Femininity" table design.

Thank you Amy, Jim, Lindsey and Jennifer from Ceremony Magazine!

Real Wedding: Marie and Todd

We had the pleasure of working with Marie and Todd for their October wedding at Paradise Ridge Winery in Santa Rosa. Well we didn't see Todd till the day of the wedding but we new that he really likes succulents. It was great to have a bride that had everything under control and organized with a sweet personality, Marie was more than great to work with through the entire design process.

It was a simple and elegant wine country wedding with textured flowers and rich fall tones that Alison Yin Photography captured beautifully in her images.

Love how one of the groomsmen is mid-air in this picture.

Rich bouquets of dahlias, toyan berries, ranunculas, succulents and callas.

These two are so cute that we had to include this picture.

The image on the left shows the giftbook table wine glass arrangement that we designed in a terrarium style using callas, croscosmia, succulents and toyan berries.

The simple and romantic centerpieces were lanterns the bride provided that we adorned with dahlias, succulents, cymbidium orchids and toyan berries.

Totally cute and fun cupcake display from the wonderful Kara's Cupcakes, that we accented with pops of burgundy dahlias and green succulents.

Such a breathtaking view we had to share it with you.

We wish Marie and Todd a long and happy marriage!

A big thank you again to Alison Yin for the images.

Trend: Succulents

If you didn't know, well now you know...Succulents are in! 

 

We know some of you might be thinking to yourself "succulents have been trending for awhile", which is true but most of the time it has been for rustic or earthy designs. Now we are seeing and using them more often in almost any type of event from whimsical or gardeny to modern or elegant and even romantic. Succulents are a great accent to modernize and add interesting texture to any arrangement.

Here are some examples of our work where succulents used in different ways. 

You can find more on our Facebook page too!

An unexpected twist to a classic garden arrangement.

Great for boutonnieres and bouquets to hold through the entire wedding...even through all the hugs

 A great pop of green with other vibrant colors and fun textures like coxcomb or parrot tulips.

 We know you don't want to think about it but the holidays are upon us and if you are in the mood for something different think about adding succulents into your holiday decor.

Real Wedding: Lindsay & Jake

We had the pleasure of working with Shannon Leahy of Shannon Leahy Events on Lindsay and Jake's "Secret Garden" inspired wedding at Flood Mansion in San Francisco this past May.

The groom loves artichokes so we had to sneak some into the cocktail table arrangements with a lush white peony in a silver julep cup.

Amazing few of the city as the sun is setting.
